Young people are exhorted to get an education and be prepared to work hard to gain a secure job and lead a comfortable life. But this connection is breaking down, with income and job prospects for younger people increasingly under threat in a rapidly changing economy and labour market. Several systems need to mesh together to support young people to make a successful school to work transition. This paper presents the headline research and evidence on the state of income and jobs for young people. The paper invites debate and seeks to inspire fresh thinking about how governments, educators, employers and communities can do better.
